- N-linked oligosaccharide chains are added to a protein in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (see Molecular Biology of the Cell, Garland Publishing, Inc. (Alberts et al., 1994 )).
- an initial oligosaccharide typically 14-sugar
- an asparagine residue contained within the target consensus sequence of Asn-X-Ser/Thr, where X may be any amino acid except proline.
- the structure of this initial oligosaccharide is common to most eukaryotes, and contains 3 glucose, 9 mannose, and 2 N-acetylglucosamine residues.
- This initial oligosaccharide chain can be trimmed by specific glycosidase enzymes in the endoplasmic reticulum, resulting in a short, branched core oligosaccharide composed of two N-acetylglucosamine and three mannose residues.
- N-glycans can be subdivided into three distinct groups called “high mannose type”, “hybrid type”, and “complex type”, with a common pentasaccharide core (Man (alpha1,6)-(Man(alpha1,3))-Man(beta1,4)-GlcpNAc(beta 1,4)-GlcpNAc(beta 1,N)-Asn) occurring in all three groups.
- the glycoprotein After initial processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, the glycoprotein is transported to the Golgi where further processing may take place. If the glycan is transferred to the Golgi before it is completely trimmed to the core pentasaccharide structure, it results in a "high-mannose glycan".
- one or more monosaccharides units of N-acetylglucosamine may be added to core mannose subunits to form a "complex glycan".
- Galactose may be added to N-acetylglucosamine subunits, and sialic acid subunits may be added to galactose subunits, resulting in chains that terminate with any of a sialic acid, a galactose or an N-acetylglucosamine residue.
- a fucose residue may be added to an N-acetylglucosamine residue of the core oligosaccharide.
- Each of these additions is catalyzed by specific glycosyl transferases, known in the art.
- Sialic acids are a family of 9-carbon monosaccharides with heterocyclic ring structures. They bear a negative charge via a carboxylic acid group attached to the ring as well as other chemical decorations including N-acetyl and N-glycolyl groups.
- the two main types of sialyl residues found in glycoproteins produced in mammalian expression systems are N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc). These usually occur as terminal structures attached to galactose (Gal) residues at the non-reducing termini of both N- and O-linked glycans.
- the glycosidic linkage configurations for these sialyl groups can be either ⁇ 2,3 or ⁇ 2,6.
- Hybrid glycans comprise characteristics of both high-mannose and complex glycans.
- one branch of a hybrid glycan may comprise primarily or exclusively mannose residues, while another branch may comprise N-acetylglucosamine, sialic acid, and/or galactose sugars.
- Antibodies are glycosylated at conserved, N-linked glycosylation sites in the Fc regions of immunoglobulin heavy chains.
- each heavy chain of an IgG antibody has a single N-linked glycosylation site at Asn297 of the CH2 domain (see Jefferis, Nature Reviews 8:226-234 (2009 )).
- IgA antibodies have N-linked glycosylation sites within the CH2 and CH3 domains
- IgE antibodies have N-linked glycosylation sites within the CH3 domain
- IgM antibodies have N-linked glycosylation sites within the CH1, CH2, CH3, and CH4 domains (see Arnold et al., J. Biol. Chem.
- Each antibody isotype has a distinct variety of N-linked carbohydrate structures in the constant regions.
- IgG has a single N-linked biantennary carbohydrate at Asn297 of the CH2 domain in each Fc polypeptide of the Fc region, which also contains the binding sites for C1q and Fc ⁇ R (see Jefferis et al., Immunol. Rev. 163:59-76 (1998 ); and Wright et al., Trends Biotech 15:26-32 (1997 )).
- the core oligosaccharide normally consists of GlcNAc 2 Man 3 GlcNAc, with differing numbers of outer residues.
- Variation among individual IgG can occur via attachment of galactose and/or galactose-sialic acid at one or both terminal GlcNAc or via attachment of a third GlcNAc arm (bisecting GlcNAc), and/or attachment of fucose.
- an IgG antibody consists of two identical light polypeptide chains and two identical heavy polypeptide chains linked together by disulphide bonds.
- the first domain located at the amino terminus of each chain is variable in amino acid sequence, providing antibody binding specificities found in each individual antibody. These are known as variable heavy (VH) and variable light (VL) regions.
- the other domains of each chain are relatively invariant in amino acid sequence and are known as constant heavy (CH) and constant light (CL) regions.
- the light chain includes one variable region (VL) and one constant region (CL).
- An IgG heavy chain includes a variable region (VH), a first constant region (CH1), a hinge region, a second constant region (CH2), and a third constant region (CH3).

- base media Power CHO2, Catalog # BE15-771, Lonza Inc., Allendale, NJ
- the cells were fed with Lonza Power Feed A and soy hydrolysate.
- the cells were fed with Lonza Power Feed A medium and additional supplements with 2.5% DMSO (final concentration) or without DMSO.
- Cells were fed 2 g/L glucose when the glucose concentration dropped below 2 g/L.
- Cells were harvested on Days 10, 12, or 14, and the antibodies produced were evaluated for titer and glycan composition.
- DMSO may be acting, at least in part, by altering the conversion of 3,3,1,0,0 to G0F by GnTII. Further, as shown in Figure 2A , the presence of DMSO had a temporal effect on G0F levels, which declined over days 10, 12, and 14.
- DMSO increased the total level of high mannose glycans compared to no DMSO. Further, DMSO led to increased levels of high mannose 6, high mannose 3, and high mannose 5 glycans (see Figure 3B ).
- DMSO also affected the level of fucosylated glycans, resulting in a decreased level of fucosylated glycans ( Figure 4A ), with an increase in afucosylated glycans ( Figure 4B ). Further, DMSO resulted in an increase in sialylated glycans ( Figure 5A ), with a specific increase in the level of 3,5,1,1,0 sialylated glycan ( Figure 5B ; structure shown in Figure 6 ).
- This Example demonstrates that culturing cells in DMSO can be used to produce polypeptides, expressed by the cells, having particular levels of glycans.

The present disclosure encompasses preparations of polypeptides (e.g., antibodies) having targeted levels of glycans (e.g., high mannose glycans, fucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans), methods of making such polypeptides (e.g., antibodies), and methods of using such polypeptides (e.g., antibodies).
- As used herein, "purified" (or "isolated") refers to a nucleic acid sequence (e.g., a polynucleotide) or an amino acid sequence (e.g., a polypeptide) that is substantially free of other components. In some instances, a purified polynucleotide or purified polypeptide is removed or separated from other components present in its natural environment. For example, an isolated polypeptide is one that is separated from other components of a cell in which it was produced (e.g., the endoplasmic reticulum or cytoplasmic proteins and RNA). An isolated polynucleotide is one that is separated from other nuclear components (e.g., histones) and/or from upstream or downstream nucleic acid sequences. An isolated nucleic acid sequence or amino acid sequence can be at least 60% free, or at least 75% free, or at least 90% free, or at least 95% free from other components present in natural environment of the indicated nucleic acid sequence or amino acid sequence.
- As used herein, "polynucleotide" (or "nucleotide sequence" or "nucleic acid molecule") refers to an oligonucleotide, nucleotide, or polynucleotide, and fragments or portions thereof, and to DNA and RNA of genomic or synthetic origin, which may be single- or double- stranded, and represent the sense or anti-sense strand.
- As used herein, "polypeptide" (or "amino acid sequence" or "protein") refers to an oligopeptide, peptide, polypeptide, or protein sequence, and fragments or portions thereof, and to naturally occurring or synthetic molecules. "Amino acid sequence" and like terms, such as "polypeptide" or "protein", are not meant to limit the indicated amino acid sequence to the complete, native amino acid sequence associated with the recited protein molecule.
- The term "pharmaceutically effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" refers to an amount (e.g., dose) effective in treating a patient, having a disorder or condition described herein. It is also to be understood herein that a "pharmaceutically effective amount" may be interpreted as an amount giving a desired therapeutic effect, either taken in one dose or in any dosage or route, taken alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents.
- The term "treatment" or "treating", as used herein, refers to administering a therapy in an amount, manner, and/or mode effective to improve a condition, symptom, or parameter associated with a disorder or condition or to prevent or reduce progression of a disorder or condition, to a degree detectable to one skilled in the art. An effective amount, manner, or mode can vary depending on the subject and may be tailored to the subject.
- As used herein, the term "antibody" refers to a polypeptide that includes at least one immunoglobulin variable region, e.g., an amino acid sequence that provides an immunoglobulin variable domain or immunoglobulin variable domain sequence. For example, an antibody can include a heavy (H) chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VH), and a light (L) chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VL). In another example, an antibody includes two heavy (H) chain variable regions and two light (L) chain variable regions. The term "antibody" encompasses antigen-binding fragments of antibodies (e.g., single chain antibodies, Fab, F(ab')2, Fd, Fv, and dAb fragments) as well as complete antibodies, e.g., intact immunoglobulins of types IgA, IgG, IgE, IgD, IgM (as well as subtypes thereof). The light chains of the immunoglobulin can be of types kappa or lambda. In some instances, an antibody includes an Fc region. In some instances, an antibody is a therapeutic antibody.
- As used herein, the term "Fc region" refers to a dimer of two "Fc polypeptides", each "Fc polypeptide" comprising the constant region of an antibody excluding the first constant region immunoglobulin domain. In some instances, an "Fc region" includes two Fc polypeptides linked by one or more disulfide bonds, chemical linkers, or peptide linkers. "Fc polypeptide" refers to the last two constant region immunoglobulin domains of IgA, IgD, and IgG, and the last three constant region immunoglobulin domains of IgE and IgM, and may also include part or all of the flexible hinge N-terminal to these domains. For IgG, "Fc polypeptide" comprises immunoglobulin domains Cgamma2 (Cγ2) and Cgamma3 (Cγ3) and the lower part of the hinge between Cgamma1 (Cγ1) and Cγ2. Although the boundaries of the Fc polypeptide may vary, the human IgG heavy chain Fc polypeptide is usually defined to comprise residues starting at T223 or C226 or P230, to its carboxyl-terminus, wherein the numbering is according to the EU index as in Kabat et al. (1991, NIH Publication 91-3242, National Technical Information Services, Springfield, VA). For IgA, Fc polypeptide comprises immunoglobulin domains Calpha2 (Cα2) and Calpha3 (Cα3) and the lower part of the hinge between Calpha1 (Cα1) and Cα2. An Fc region can be synthetic, recombinant, or generated from natural sources such as IVIG.

Individual molecules of a particular glycoprotein within a glycoprotein preparation typically have identical amino acid sequences but may differ in the occupancy of the at least one glycosylation sites and/or in the identity of the glycans linked to the at least one of the glycosylation sites. That is, a glycoprotein preparation may contain only a single glycoform of a particular glycoprotein, but more typically contains a plurality of glycoforms. Different preparations of the same glycoprotein may differ in the identity of glycoforms present (e.g., a glycoform that is present in one preparation may be absent from another) and/or in the relative amounts of different glycoforms.
- The term "glycoform" is used herein to refer to a particular form of a glycoprotein. That is, when a glycoprotein includes a particular polypeptide that has the potential to be linked to different glycans or sets of glycans, then each different version of the glycoprotein (i.e., where the polypeptide is linked to a particular glycan or set of glycans) is referred to as a "glycoform".
- "Reference glycoprotein", as used herein, refers to a glycoprotein having substantially the same amino acid sequence as (e.g., having about 95-100% identical amino acids of) a glycoprotein described herein, e.g., a glycoprotein to which it is compared. In some instances, a reference glycoprotein is a therapeutic glycoprotein described herein, e.g., an FDA approved therapeutic glycoprotein.
- As used herein, an "N-glycosylation site of an Fc region" refers to an amino acid residue within an Fc region to which a glycan is N-linked.
- "Target value", as used herein, refers to a predetermined level of one or more particular glycans, such as high mannose glycans, fucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans. In some instances, a target value is an absolute value. In some instances, a target value is a relative value. In some instances, a target value is a level of one or more particular glycans, such as high mannose glycans (e.g., HM3, HM4, HM5, HM6, HM7, HM8, HM9, or combinations), fucosylated glycans (e.g., G0F, G1F, G2F, or combinations), and/or sialylated glycans (e.g., monosialylated, disialylated, or combinations), in a reference glycoprotein product or described in a specification or master batch record for a pharmaceutical product.
- In some instances, a target value refers to an absolute level of (e.g., number of moles of) one or more glycans (e.g., high mannose glycans (e.g., one or more species of high mannose glycans), fucosylated glycans (e.g., one or more species of fucosylated glycans), and/or sialylated glycans (e.g., one or more species of sialylated glycans) in a glycoprotein preparation. In some instances, a target value refers to a level of one or more glycans (e.g., high mannose glycans (e.g., one or more species of high mannose glycans), fucosylated glycans (e.g., one or more species of fucosylated glycans), and/or sialylated glycans (e.g., one or more species of sialylated glycans) in a glycoprotein preparation relative to total level of glycans in the glycoprotein preparation. In some instances, a target value is expressed as a "percent", which refers to the number of moles of one or more glycans (e.g., Fc glycans) relative to total moles of glycans (e.g., Fc glycans) in a glycoprotein preparation. In some instances, "percent" refers to the number of moles of one or more PNGase F-released Fc glycans relative to total moles of PNGase F-released Fc glycans detected.
- Any host cell that can be used to express a polypeptide of interest (e.g., an antibody) can be used in the methods described herein. The cells can be genetically engineered to contain a recombinant nucleic acid sequence, e.g., a gene, that encodes a polypeptide of interest (e.g., an antibody). For example, useful cells can express a recombinant polypeptide. Recombinant expression of a gene encoding a polypeptide can include construction of an expression vector containing a polynucleotide that encodes the polypeptide. Once a polynucleotide has been obtained, a vector for the production of the polypeptide can be produced by recombinant DNA technology using techniques known in the art. Known methods can be used to construct expression vectors containing polypeptide coding sequences and appropriate transcriptional and translational control signals. These methods include, for example, in vitro recombinant DNA techniques, synthetic techniques, and in vivo genetic recombination.
- An expression vector can be transferred to a host cell by conventional techniques, and the transfected cells can then be cultured by conventional techniques, modified in accordance with the present disclosure, to produce a recombinant polypeptide. A variety of host expression vector systems can be used (see, e.g.,
U.S. Pat. No. 5,807,715 ). Such host-expression systems (e.g., genetically engineered host expression systems) can be used to produce polypeptides (e.g., antibodies) and, where desired, subsequently purified. Such host expression systems include, but are not limited to, yeast (e.g., Saccharomyces and Pichia) transformed with recombinant yeast expression vectors containing polypeptide coding sequences; insect cell systems infected with recombinant virus expression vectors (e.g., baculovirus) containing polypeptide coding sequences; plant cell systems infected with recombinant virus expression vectors (e.g., cauliflower mosaic virus, CaMV; tobacco mosaic virus, TMV) or transformed with recombinant plasmid expression vectors (e.g., Ti plasmid) containing polypeptide coding sequences; or mammalian cell systems (e.g., COS, CHO, BHK, 293, NS0, and 3T3 cells) harboring recombinant expression constructs containing promoters derived from the genome of mammalian cells (e.g., metallothionein promoter) or from mammalian viruses (e.g., the adenovirus late promoter; the vaccinia virus 7.5K promoter). - For expression in mammalian host cells, viral-based expression systems can be utilized (see, e.g., Logan et al., 1984, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 8:355-359). The efficiency of expression can be enhanced by the inclusion of appropriate transcription enhancer elements, transcription terminators, etc. (see, e.g., Bittner et al., 1987, Methods in Enzymol. 153:516-544).
- In addition, a host cell strain can be chosen that modulates the expression of the inserted sequences, or modifies and processes the gene product in the specific fashion desired. Different host cells have characteristic and specific mechanisms for the post-translational processing and modification of proteins and gene products. Appropriate cell lines or host systems can be chosen to ensure the correct modification and processing of the polypeptide (e.g., antibody) expressed. Such cells include, for example, established mammalian cell lines and insect cell lines, animal cells, fungal cells, and yeast cells. Mammalian host cells include, but are not limited to, CHO, Vero, BHK, HeLa, COS, MDCK, HEK-293, NIH-3T3, W138, BT483, Hs578T, HTB2, BT20, T47D, NS0 (a murine myeloma cell line that does not endogenously produce any immunoglobulin chains), CRL7O3O, HsS78Bst cells, PER.C6, SP2/0-Ag14, and hybridoma cells. Additional, nonlimiting examples of animal or mammalian host cells include Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO), such as CHO-K1 (ATCC CCL-61), DG44 (Chasin et al., 1986, Som. Cell Molec. Genet., 12:555-556; and Kolkekar et al., 1997, Biochem., 36:10901-10909), CHO-DXB11 (G. Urlaub and L.A. Chasin, 1980 Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 77: 4216-4220 . L.H. Graf, and L.A. Chasin 1982, Molec.

NY Acad. Sci., 383:44-68); MCR 5 cells; and FS4 cells. - For long-term, high-yield production of recombinant proteins, host cells can be engineered to stably express a polypeptide (e.g., antibody). Host cells can be transformed with DNA controlled by appropriate expression control elements known in the art, including promoter, enhancer, sequences, transcription terminators, polyadenylation sites, and selectable markers. Methods commonly known in the art of recombinant DNA technology can be used to select a desired recombinant clone. In some instances, a cell is genetically engineered to increase level of expression of an endogenous polypeptide, e.g., by increasing transcription of a gene encoding the polypeptide and/or increasing mRNA stability. In some instances, transcription of a gene encoding a polypeptide is increased by: altering the regulatory sequence of the endogenous gene, e.g., in a somatic cell, e.g., by the addition of a positive regulatory element, such as an enhancer or a DNA-binding site for a transcriptional activator; the deletion of a negative regulatory element, such as a DNA-binding site for a transcriptional repressor; and/or replacement of the endogenous regulatory sequence, or elements therein, with that of another gene, thereby allowing the coding region of the gene to be transcribed more efficiently.
- Once a polypeptide described herein (e.g., an antibody described herein) has been produced by recombinant expression, it can be purified by any method known in the art for purification, for example, by chromatography (e.g., ion exchange, affinity, and sizing column chromatography), centrifugation, differential solubility, or by any other standard technique for the purification of proteins. For example, an antibody can be isolated and purified by appropriately selecting and combining affinity columns such as Protein A column with chromatography columns, filtration, ultra filtration, salting-out and dialysis procedures (see Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Ed Harlow, David Lane, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1988). Further, as described herein, a polypeptide (e.g., an antibody) can be fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences to facilitate purification. Polypeptides having desired sugar chains can be separated with a lectin column by methods known in the art (see, e.g.,
WO 02/30954 - In accordance with the present disclosure, there may be employed conventional molecular biology, microbiology, and recombinant DNA techniques within the skill of the art. Such techniques are described in the literature (see, e.g., Sambrook, Fritsch & Maniatis, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Second Edition (1989) Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.; DNA Cloning: A Practical Approach, Volumes I and II (D.

- In general, polypeptides (e.g., antibodies) having target levels of glycans (e.g., high mannose glycans, fucosylated glycans and/or sialylated glycans) can be produced by culturing cells in media that contains DMSO, e.g., a particular, effective level of DMSO (e.g., during one or more stages of culture).
- In some instances, cells genetically engineered to express a polypeptide are cultured (e.g., at one or more stages of culture) in a medium that includes DMSO, e.g., an elevated level of DMSO, to decrease levels of G0F glycans and/or fucosylated glycans in a preparation of the polypeptide expressed by the cells. In some instances, a level of G0F glycans and/or fucosylated glycans is decreased relative to the corresponding level(s) in a preparation of the polypeptide produced using the same medium that does not include DMSO, e.g., an elevated level of DMSO. In some instances, the decreased level of G0F glycans and/or fucosylated glycans is lower than the corresponding level(s) by at least about 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or 100%, of the corresponding level.
- In some instances, cells genetically engineered to express a polypeptide are cultured (e.g., at one or more stages of culture) in a medium that includes DMSO, e.g., an elevated level of DMSO, to increase levels of high mannose glycans, afucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans in a preparation of the polypeptide expressed by the cells. In some instances, a level of high mannose glycans, afucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans is increased relative to the corresponding level(s) in a preparation of the polypeptide produced using the same medium that does not include DMSO, e.g., an elevated level of DMSO. In some instances, the increased level of high mannose glycans, afucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans is higher than the corresponding level(s) by at least about 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, 150%, 200%, 250%, 300%, 350%, 400%, 450%, 500%, or more, of the corresponding level.
- In some instances, cells genetically engineered to express a polypeptide are cultured (e.g., at one or more stages of culture) in a medium that includes a reduced level of DMSO, to increase levels of G0F glycans and/or fucosylated glycans in a preparation of the polypeptide expressed by the cells. In some instances, a level of G0F glycans and/or fucosylated glycans is increased relative to the corresponding level(s) in a preparation of the polypeptide produced using the same medium that does not include a reduced level of DMSO. In some instances, the increased level of G0F glycans and/or fucosylated glycans is higher than the corresponding level(s) by at least about 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, 150%, 200%, 250%, 300%, 350%, 400%, 450%, 500%, or more, of the corresponding level.
- As used herein, an "elevated level of DMSO" means a higher concentration of DMSO than is present in a standard medium, a starting medium, a medium used at one or more stages of culture, and/or in a medium in which a polypeptide is produced. In some instances, DMSO is not present in a standard and/or starting medium, a medium used at one or more other stages of culture, and/or in a medium in which a polypeptide is produced, and an "elevated level" is any amount of DMSO. A medium can include an elevated level of DMSO initially (i.e., at the start of a culture), and/or medium can be supplemented with DMSO to achieve an elevated level of DMSO at a particular time or times (e.g., at one or more stages) during culturing.
- In some instances, an elevated level of DMSO is an increase of at least about 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, 150%, 200%, 250%, 300%, 350%, 400%, 450%, 500%, 550%, 600%, 650%, 700%, 750%, 800%, 850%, 900%, 950%, 1000% or more, relative to a level of DMSO in a standard medium, a starting medium, a medium during one or more stages of culture, and/or in a medium in which a polypeptide is produced.

- As used herein, a "reduced level of DMSO" means a lower concentration of DMSO than is present in a standard medium, a starting medium, a medium used at one or more stages of culture, and/or in a medium in which a polypeptide is produced. A medium can include a reduced level of DMSO initially (i.e., at the start of a culture), a medium can be diluted at a particular time or times (e.g., at one or more stages) during culturing to reduce the level of DMSO, and/or a medium can be replaced with a medium having a reduced level of DMSO at a particular time or times (e.g., at one or more stages) during culturing. In some instances, a reduced level of DMSO is 0% (v/v) DMSO or no detectable level of DMSO in a medium.
- In some instances, a reduced level of DMSO is a decrease of at least about 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100%, relative to a level of DMSO in a standard medium, a starting medium, a medium during one or more stages of culture, and/or in a medium in which a polypeptide is produced.

- Cells can be cultured in a variety of cell culture media known in the art, which are modified according to the disclosure to include DMSO as described herein. Cell culture medium is understood by those of skill in the art to refer to a nutrient solution in which cells, such as animal or mammalian cells, are grown. A cell culture medium generally includes one or more of the following components: an energy source (e.g., a carbohydrate such as glucose); amino acids; vitamins; lipids or free fatty acids; and trace elements, e.g., inorganic compounds or naturally occurring elements in the micromolar range. Cell culture medium can also contain additional components, such as hormones and other growth factors (e.g., insulin, transferrin, epidermal growth factor, serum, and the like); salts (e.g., calcium, magnesium and phosphate); buffers (e.g., HEPES); nucleosides and bases (e.g., adenosine, thymidine, hypoxanthine); antibiotics (e.g., gentamycin); and cell protective agents (e.g., a Pluronic polyol (Pluronic F68)).
- In some instances, in addition to an elevated or reduced level of DMSO, a cell culture medium includes lysine, cysteine, ammonium, manganese, copper, cobalt, putrescine, a peptone, glucose, galactose, galactosamine, glucosamine, glutamine, a lipid (e.g., cholesterol), and/or dextran sulfate. For example, a culture medium can include about 0.1 g/L to about 30 g/L lysine (e.g., about 1 g/L to about 10 g/L lysine, about 2 g/L to about 8 g/L lysine, about 3 g/L to about 7 g/L lysine, about 4 g/L to about 6 g/L lysine, about 1 g/L lysine, about 2 g/L lysine, about 3 g/L lysine, about 4 g/L lysine, about 5 g/L lysine, about 6 g/L lysine, about 7 g/L lysine, about 8 g/L lysine, about 9 g/L lysine, or about 10 g/L lysine, or more); about 0.1 g/L to about 1 g/L cysteine; about 1 mM to about 50 mM ammonium (e.g., about 10 mM to about 20 mM ammonium, about 11 mM to about 19 mM ammonium, about 12 mM to about 18 mM ammonium, about 13 mM to about 17 mM ammonium, about 14 mM to about 16 mM ammonium, about 10 mM ammonium, about 11 mM ammonium, about 12 mM, ammonium, about 13 mM ammonium, about 14 mM ammonium, about 15 mM ammonium, about 16 mM ammonium, about 17 mM ammonium, about 18 mM ammonium, about 19 mM ammonium, about 20 mM ammonium, or more); about 0.01 mM to about 0.5 mM manganese; about 0.1 µM to about 0.5 mM copper; about 0.1 mg/L to about 30 mg/L cobalt; about 0.01 mg/L to about 5 mg/L putrescine; about 0.1 g/L to about 10 g/L glucose; about 0.5 g/L to about 30 g/L peptone, e.g., a non-animal derived peptone such as soy or cottonseed; about 1 µM to about 1 mM galactosamine; about 0.1 g/L to about 5 g/L glucosamine; and/or about 0.01 g/L to about 0.1 g/L dextran sulfate.
- Media that has been prepared or commercially available can be modified according to the present disclosure for utilization in the methods described herein. Nonlimiting examples of such media include Minimal Essential Medium (MEM, Sigma, St. Louis, Mo.); Ham's F10 Medium (Sigma); Dulbecco's Modified Eagles Medium (DMEM, Sigma); RPM 1-1640 Medium (Sigma); HyClone cell culture medium (HyClone, Logan, Utah); Power CHO2 (Lonza Inc., Allendale, NJ); and chemically-defined (CD) media, which are formulated for particular cell types, e.g., CD-CHO Medium (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.). Culture medium suitable for particular cells being cultured can be determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art without undue experimentation, and such medium can be altered according to the disclosure.
- Cell culture conditions (including pH, O2, CO2, agitation rate and temperature) suitable for cellular production of polypeptides described herein (e.g., antibodies) are those that are known in the art, such as conditions for batch, continuous, or fed-batch culturing of cells. For example, pH of cell culture medium is generally maintained at about 6.8 to about 7.2.
- In some instances, cells are cultured in one or more stages, and cells can be cultured in medium having an elevated or reduced level of DMSO in one or more stages. For example, a culture method can include a first stage (e.g., using a medium having a reduced level of DMSO) and a second stage (e.g., using a medium having an elevated level of DMSO). In some instances, a culture method can include a first stage (e.g., using a medium having an elevated level of DMSO) and a second stage (e.g., using a medium having a reduced level of DMSO). In some instances, a culture method includes more than two stages, e.g., 3, 4, 5, 6, or more stages, and any stage can include medium having an elevated level of DMSO or a reduced level of DMSO. The length of culture is not limiting. For example, a culture method can be 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, or more days. In some instances, a culture method includes at least two stages. For example, a first stage can include culturing cells in medium having a reduced level of DMSO (e.g., for about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more days), and a second stage can include culturing cells in medium having an elevated level of DMSO (e.g., for about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more days).
- In some instances, cells are cultured in an initial medium having a reduced level of DMSO for 5 days, and medium having an elevated of DMSO is added to the culture of cells on
day 6. - In some instances, a first stage of culture is a growth stage. Generally, during a growth stage, a cell culture undergoes a period of exponential cell growth (the log phase) where cells are generally rapidly dividing. In some instances, cells are cultured under such conditions such that cell growth is maximized. The growth cycle and conditions for maximizing growth of host cells can be determined for a particular host cell by a person of ordinary skill in the art without undue experimentation. In some instances, cells are maintained in a growth stage for a period of between 1 and 10 days. In some instances, cells are cultured in a medium having a reduced level of DMSO or an elevated level of DMSO for all or part of a growth stage.
- In some instances, a second stage of culture is a production stage. Generally, during a production stage, cell growth has plateaued or is maintained at a near constant level. During a production stage, logarithmic cell growth has ended and polypeptide production is increased. During this period of time, a medium can generally be supplemented to support continued polypeptide production and to achieve a desired polypeptide product. In some instances, cells are maintained in a production stage for a period of between 1 and 10 days. In some instances, cells are cultured in a medium having a reduced level of DMSO or an elevated level of DMSO for all or part of a production stage.
- In general, cell culture methods are classified as batch culture, continuous culture, and fed-batch culture. Any of these culture methods can be used to grow cells that produce polypeptides (e.g., antibodies) having targeted levels of glycans (e.g., high mannose glycans, fucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans).
- In batch culture, a small amount of seed culture solution is added to a medium and cells are grown without any addition of a new medium or discharge of culture solution during culture. For the production of polypeptides (e.g., antibodies) having targeted levels of glycans (e.g., high mannose glycans, fucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans) using batch culture, the medium comprises an elevated level or a reduced level of DMSO at an initial stage of cell culture.
- In some instances, polypeptides (e.g., antibodies) having targeted levels of glycans (e.g., high mannose glycans, fucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans) are produced by batch culture of cells expressing the polypeptide in a medium having an elevated level of DMSO. The culture medium comprises about 0.5 to about 5% DMSO such as about 0.5% to about 1% DMSO, about 1% to about 1.5% DMSO, about 0.5% to about 1.5% DMSO, about 0.6% to about 1.4% DMSO, about 0.7% to about 1.3% DMSO, about 0.8% to about 1.2% DMSO, about 0.9% to about 1.1% DMSO, about 1% to about 2% DMSO, about 2% to about 3% DMSO, about 3% to about 4% DMSO, about 4% to about 5% DMSO, about 2.5% to about 5% DMSO, about 1% to about 5% DMSO, about 2% to about 5% DMSO, or about 3% to about 5% DMSO. In some embodiments the culture medium comprises 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2%, 2.1%, 2.2%, 2.3%, 2.4%, 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.7%, 2.8%, 2.9%, 3%, 3.1%, 3.2%, 3.3%, 3.4%, 3.5%, 3.6%, 3.7%, 3.8%, 3.9%, 4%, 4.1%, 4.2%, 4.3%, 4.4%. 4.5%, 4.6%, 4.7%, 4.8%, 4.9%, or 5% DMSO.
- In some instances, polypeptides (e.g., antibodies) having targeted levels of glycans (e.g., high mannose glycans, fucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans) are produced by batch culture of cells expressing the polypeptide in a medium having a reduced level of DMSO. Cells are cultured in a medium having about 0.5 to 5% DMSO, such as about 5%, 4.9%, 4.8%, 4.7%, 4.6%, 4.5%, 4.4%, 4.3%, 4.2%, 4.1%, 4%, 3.9%, 3.8%, 3.7%, 3.6%, 3.5%, 3.4%, 3.3%, 3.2%, 3.1%, 3%, 2.9%, 2.8%, 2.7%, 2.6%, 2.5%, 2.4%, 2.3%, 2.2%, 2.1%, 2%, 1.9%, 1.8%, 1.7%, 1.6%, 1.5%, 1.4%, 1.3%, 1.2%, 1.1%, 1%, 0.9%, 0.8%, 0.7%, 0.6%, 0.5% (v/v) DMSO.
- Continuous culture is a culture method in which a medium is added and discharged continuously during culture. This continuous method includes perfusion culture. For example, in the production of polypeptides (e.g., antibodies) having targeted levels of glycans (e.g., high mannose glycans, fucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans) using continuous culture, level of DMSO in the medium can be adjusted at one or more stages of culture to result in an elevated level or a reduced level of DMSO. In certain methods, culture medium used at a first stage of culture does not include an elevated level or a reduced level of DMSO, but at a particular time point during continuous culture (such as during all or part of a growth stage and/or a production stage), medium added during culture is elevated or reduced in the level of DMSO.
- In some instances, polypeptides (e.g., antibodies) having targeted levels of glycans (e.g., high mannose glycans, fucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans) are produced by continuous culture of cells expressing the polypeptide in a medium having an elevated level of DMSO (e.g., during one or more stages of continuous culture). Cells are cultured, during one or more stages of continuous culture, in a medium having about 0.5 to about 5% DMSO such as about 0.5% to about 1% DMSO, about 1% to about 1.5% DMSO, about 0.5% to about 1.5% DMSO, about 0.6% to about 1.4% DMSO, about 0.7% to about 1.3% DMSO, about 0.8% to about 1.2% DMSO, about 0.9% to about 1.1% DMSO, about 1% to about 2% DMSO, about 2% to about 3% DMSO, about 3% to about 4% DMSO, about 4% to about 5% DMSO, about 2.5% to about 5% DMSO, about 1% to about 5% DMSO, about 2% to about 5% DMSO, or about 3% to about 5% DMSO. In some embodiments the culture medium comprises 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2%, 2.1%, 2.2%, 2.3%, 2.4%, 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.7%, 2.8%, 2.9%, 3%, 3.1%, 3.2%, 3.3%, 3.4%, 3.5%, 3.6%, 3.7%, 3.8%, 3.9%, 4%, 4.1%, 4.2%, 4.3%, 4.4%. 4.5%, 4.6%, 4.7%, 4.8%, 4.9%, or 5% DMSO.
- In some instances, cells are cultured, during one or more stages of continuous culture, in a medium having a reduced level of DMSO. In some instances, cells are cultured, during one or more stages of continuous culture, in a medium having about 0.5 to 5% DMSO, such as about 5%, 4.9%, 4.8%, 4.7%, 4.6%, 4.5%, 4.4%, 4.3%, 4.2%, 4.1%, 4%, 3.9%, 3.8%, 3.7%, 3.6%, 3.5%, 3.4%, 3.3%, 3.2%, 3.1%, 3%, 2.9%, 2.8%, 2.7%, 2.6%, 2.5%, 2.4%, 2.3%, 2.2%, 2.1%, 2%, 1.9%, 1.8%, 1.7%, 1.6%, 1.5%, 1.4%, 1.3%, 1.2%, 1.1%, 1%, 0.9%, 0.8%, 0.7%, 0.6%, 0.5% (v/v) DMSO.
- Fed-batch culture is a method between batch culture and continuous culture. In a fed-batch culture, a cell culture is fed or supplemented continuously or sequentially during culture, but unlike continuous culture, discharge of culture solution is not carried out during culture. For example, for the production of polypeptides (e.g., antibodies) having targeted levels of glycans (e.g., high mannose glycans, fucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans) using fed-batch culture, medium added during one or more stages of culture can have an elevated level or a reduced level of DMSO.
- In some instances, polypeptides (e.g., antibodies) having targeted levels of glycans (e.g., high mannose glycans, fucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans) are produced by adding medium (at one or more stages) to a fed batch culture of cells expressing the polypeptide sufficient to achieve (at one or more stages) an elevated level of DMSO. In some embodiments, about 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2%, 2.1%, 2.2%, 2.3%, 2.4%, 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.7%, 2.8%, 2.9%, 3%, 3.1%, 3.2%, 3.3%, 3.4%, 3.5%, 3.6%, 3.7%, 3.8%, 3.9%, 4%, 4.1%, 4.2%, 4.3%, 4.4%, 4.5%, 4.6%, 4.7%, 4.8%, 4.9%, 5%(v/v) DMSO in the culture medium is achieved (e.g., by adding or supplementing with DMSO, e.g., at one or more stages). In some embodiments, a level of DMSO of about 0.5 to about 5% DMSO such as about 0.5% to about 1% DMSO, about 1% to about 1.5% DMSO, about 0.5% to about 1.5% DMSO, about 0.6% to about 1.4% DMSO, about 0.7% to about 1.3% DMSO, about 0.8% to about 1.2% DMSO, about 0.9% to about 1.1% DMSO, about 1% to about 2% DMSO, about 2% to about 3% DMSO, about 3% to about 4% DMSO, about 4% to about 5% DMSO, about 2.5% to about 5% DMSO, about 1% to about 5% DMSO, about 2% to about 5% DMSO, or about 3% to about 5% DMSO, is achieved.
- In some instances, polypeptides (e.g., antibodies) having targeted levels of glycans (e.g., high mannose glycans, fucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans) are produced by adding medium (at one or more stages) to a fed batch culture of cells expressing the polypeptide sufficient to achieve (at one or more stages) a reduced level of DMSO. In some embodiments, about 0.5 to 5% DMSO, such as about 5%, 4.9%, 4.8%, 4.7%, 4.6%, 4.5%, 4.4%, 4.3%, 4.2%, 4.1%, 4%, 3.9%, 3.8%, 3.7%, 3.6%, 3.5%, 3.4%, 3.3%, 3.2%, 3.1%, 3%, 2.9%, 2.8%, 2.7%, 2.6%, 2.5%, 2.4%, 2.3%, 2.2%, 2.1%, 2%, 1.9%, 1.8%, 1.7%, 1.6%, 1.5%, 1.4%, 1.3%, 1.2%, 1.1%, 1%, 0.9%, 0.8%, 0.7%, 0.6%, 0.5% (v/v) DMSO in the culture medium is achieved (at one or more stages).
- According to the present disclosure, cell culture can be carried out under conditions for large or small scale production of polypeptides (e.g., antibodies), using culture vessels and/or culture apparatuses that are conventionally employed for animal or mammalian cell culture. For example, tissue culture dishes, T-flasks, shaker flasks, and spinner flasks can be used on a laboratory scale. For culturing on a larger scale (e.g., 1 L, 10 L, 100 L, 500 L, 5000 L, or more), a fluidized bed bioreactor, a hollow fiber bioreactor, a roller bottle culture, or a stirred tank bioreactor system can be used (e.g., as described in
U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,541,164 and7,332,303 ). - In particular methods, levels of one or more glycans (e.g., high mannose glycans, fucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans) in a preparation of polypeptides (e.g., antibodies) are monitored during one or more times (e.g., one or more stages) of cell culture, thereby allowing adjustment (e.g., increasing or decreasing the amount of DMSO in the culture) or possibly termination of the culture in order, for example, to achieve a target level of polypeptides (e.g., antibodies) having targeted levels of glycans (e.g., high mannose glycans, fucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans).
- Described herein are therapeutic preparations of polypeptides (e.g., glycoproteins), and methods of making and using such preparations. Glycoproteins include, for example, any of a variety of hematologic agents (including, for instance, erythropoietin, blood-clotting factors, etc.), interferons, colony stimulating factors, antibodies, enzymes, and hormones.

- In some instances, described herein are therapeutic polypeptide (e.g., glycoprotein) having targeted levels of glycans (e.g., high mannose glycans, fucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans), where the targeted levels are the levels of glycans (e.g., high mannose glycans, fucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans) in a reference polypeptide product (e.g., glycoprotein product). Nonlimiting, exemplary reference glycoprotein products can include abatacept (Orencia®, Bristol-Myers Squibb), abciximab (ReoPro®, Roche), adalimumab (Humira®, Bristol-Myers Squibb), aflibercept (Eylea®, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals), alefacept (Amevive®, Astellas Pharma), alemtuzumab (Campath®, Genzyme/Bayer), basiliximab (Simulect®, Novartis), belatacept (Nulojix®, Bristol-Myers Squibb), belimumab (Benlysta®, GlaxoSmithKline), bevacizumab (Avastin®, Roche), canakinumab (Ilaris®, Novartis), brentuximab vedotin (Adcetris®, Seattle Genetics), certolizumab (CIMZIA®, UCB, Brussels, Belgium), cetuximab (Erbitux®, Merck-Serono), daclizumab (Zenapax®, Hoffmann-La Roche), denileukin diftitox (Ontak®, Eisai), denosumab (Prolia®, Amgen; Xgeva®, Amgen), eculizumab (Soliris®, Alexion Pharmaceuticals), efalizumab (Raptiva®, Genentech), etanercept (Enbrel®, Amgen-Pfizer), gemtuzumab (Mylotarg®, Pfizer), golimumab (Simponi®, Janssen), ibritumomab (Zevalin®, Spectrum Pharmaceuticals), infliximab (Remicade®, Centocor), ipilimumab (Yervoy™, Bristol-Myers Squibb), muromonab (Orthoclone OKT3®, Janssen-Cilag), natalizumab (Tysabri®, Biogen Idec, Elan), ofatumumab (Arzerra®, GlaxoSmithKline), omalizumab (Xolair®, Novartis), palivizumab (Synagis®, Medlmmune), panitumumab (Vectibix®, Amgen), ranibizumab (Lucentis®, Genentech), rilonacept (Arcalyst®, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals), rituximab (MabThera®, Roche), tocilizumab (Actemra®, Genentech; RoActemra, Hoffman-La Roche) tositumomab (Bexxar®, GlaxoSmithKline), and trastuzumab (Herceptin®, Roche).
- In some instances, a level of one or more glycans (e.g., high mannose glycans, fucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans) in a reference polypeptide product is determined by analyzing one or more preparations (e.g., one or more lots) of the reference polypeptide. In some instances, a level of one or more glycans (e.g., high mannose glycans, fucosylated glycans, and/or sialylated glycans) in a reference polypeptide product is a range of the one or more glycans in two or more preparations of the reference polypeptide (e.g., two or more lots of the reference polypeptide product). In some instances, a level of one or more glycans is a range (e.g., spanning a lowest level of the one or more glycans to a highest level of the one or more glycans) in two or more lots of the reference polypeptide product.
- N-linked oligosaccharide chains are added to a protein in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (see Molecular Biology of the Cell, Garland Publishing, Inc. (Alberts et al., 1994)). Specifically, an initial oligosaccharide (typically 14-sugar) is added to the amino group on the side chain of an asparagine residue contained within the target consensus sequence of Asn-X-Ser/Thr, where X may be any amino acid except proline. The structure of this initial oligosaccharide is common to most eukaryotes, and contains 3 glucose, 9 mannose, and 2 N-acetylglucosamine residues. This initial oligosaccharide chain can be trimmed by specific glycosidase enzymes in the endoplasmic reticulum, resulting in a short, branched core oligosaccharide composed of two N-acetylglucosamine and three mannose residues.
- N-glycans can be subdivided into three distinct groups called "high mannose type", "hybrid type", and "complex type", with a common pentasaccharide core (Man (alpha1,6)-(Man(alpha1,3))-Man(beta1,4)-GlcpNAc(
beta 1,4)-GlcpNAc(beta 1,N)-Asn) occurring in all three groups. - After initial processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, the glycoprotein is transported to the Golgi where further processing may take place. If the glycan is transferred to the Golgi before it is completely trimmed to the core pentasaccharide structure, it results in a "high-mannose glycan".
- Additionally or alternatively, one or more monosaccharides units of N-acetylglucosamine may be added to core mannose subunits to form a "complex glycan". Galactose may be added to N-acetylglucosamine subunits, and sialic acid subunits may be added to galactose subunits, resulting in chains that terminate with any of a sialic acid, a galactose or an N-acetylglucosamine residue. Additionally, a fucose residue may be added to an N-acetylglucosamine residue of the core oligosaccharide. Each of these additions is catalyzed by specific glycosyl transferases, known in the art.
- Sialic acids are a family of 9-carbon monosaccharides with heterocyclic ring structures. They bear a negative charge via a carboxylic acid group attached to the ring as well as other chemical decorations including N-acetyl and N-glycolyl groups. The two main types of sialyl residues found in glycoproteins produced in mammalian expression systems are N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc). These usually occur as terminal structures attached to galactose (Gal) residues at the non-reducing termini of both N- and O-linked glycans. The glycosidic linkage configurations for these sialyl groups can be either α2,3 or α2,6.
- "Hybrid glycans" comprise characteristics of both high-mannose and complex glycans. For example, one branch of a hybrid glycan may comprise primarily or exclusively mannose residues, while another branch may comprise N-acetylglucosamine, sialic acid, and/or galactose sugars.
- Antibodies are glycosylated at conserved, N-linked glycosylation sites in the Fc regions of immunoglobulin heavy chains. For example, each heavy chain of an IgG antibody has a single N-linked glycosylation site at Asn297 of the CH2 domain (see Jefferis, Nature Reviews 8:226-234 (2009)). IgA antibodies have N-linked glycosylation sites within the CH2 and CH3 domains, IgE antibodies have N-linked glycosylation sites within the CH3 domain, and IgM antibodies have N-linked glycosylation sites within the CH1, CH2, CH3, and CH4 domains (see Arnold et al., J. Biol. Chem. 280:29080-29087 (2005); Mattu et al., J. Biol. Chem. 273:2260-2272 (1998); Nettleton et al., Int. Arch. Allergy Immunol. 107:328-329 (1995)).
- Each antibody isotype has a distinct variety of N-linked carbohydrate structures in the constant regions. For example, IgG has a single N-linked biantennary carbohydrate at Asn297 of the CH2 domain in each Fc polypeptide of the Fc region, which also contains the binding sites for C1q and FcγR (see Jefferis et al., Immunol. Rev. 163:59-76 (1998); and Wright et al., Trends Biotech 15:26-32 (1997)). For human IgG, the core oligosaccharide normally consists of GlcNAc2Man3GlcNAc, with differing numbers of outer residues. Variation among individual IgG can occur via attachment of galactose and/or galactose-sialic acid at one or both terminal GlcNAc or via attachment of a third GlcNAc arm (bisecting GlcNAc), and/or attachment of fucose.
- The basic structure of an IgG antibody is illustrated in
Figure 1 . As shown inFigure 1 , an IgG antibody consists of two identical light polypeptide chains and two identical heavy polypeptide chains linked together by disulphide bonds. The first domain located at the amino terminus of each chain is variable in amino acid sequence, providing antibody binding specificities found in each individual antibody. These are known as variable heavy (VH) and variable light (VL) regions. The other domains of each chain are relatively invariant in amino acid sequence and are known as constant heavy (CH) and constant light (CL) regions. As shown inFigure 1 , for an IgG antibody, the light chain includes one variable region (VL) and one constant region (CL). An IgG heavy chain includes a variable region (VH), a first constant region (CH1), a hinge region, a second constant region (CH2), and a third constant region (CH3). In IgE and IgM antibodies, the heavy chain includes an additional constant region (CH4). - Antibodies described herein can include, for example, monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies (e.g., IVIG), multispecific antibodies, human antibodies, humanized antibodies, camelized antibodies, chimeric antibodies, single-chain Fvs (scFv), disulfide-linked Fvs (sdFv), and anti-idiotypic (anti-Id) antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments of any of the above. Antibodies can be of any type (e.g., IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, IgA and IgY), class (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1 and IgA2) or subclass.
- The term "Fc fragment", as used herein, refers to one or more fragments of an Fc region that retains an Fc function and/or activity described herein, such as binding to an Fc receptor. Examples of such fragments include fragments that include an N-linked glycosylation site of an Fc region (e.g., an Asn297 of an IgG heavy chain or homologous sites of other antibody isotypes), such as a CH2 domain. The term "antigen binding fragment" of an antibody, as used herein, refers to one or more fragments of an antibody that retain the ability to specifically bind to an antigen. Examples of binding fragments encompassed within the term "antigen binding fragment" of an antibody include a Fab fragment, a F(ab')2 fragment, a Fd fragment, a Fv fragment, a scFv fragment, a dAb fragment (Ward et al., (1989) Nature 341:544-546), and an isolated complementarity determining region (CDR). These antibody fragments can be obtained using conventional techniques known to those with skill in the art, and fragments can be screened for utility in the same manner as are intact antibodies.
- Reference glycoproteins described herein (e.g., reference antibodies) or fragments thereof can be produced by any method known in the art for synthesizing glycoproteins (e.g., antibodies) (see, e.g., Harlow et al., Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2nd ed. 1988); Brinkman et al., 1995, J. Immunol. Methods 182:41-50;
WO 92/22324 WO 98/46645 U.S. Pat. No. 6,180,370 . - Additional reference antibodies described herein are bispecific antibodies and multivalent antibodies, as described in, e.g., Segal et al., J. Immunol. Methods 248:1-6 (2001); and Tutt et al., J. Immunol. 147: 60 (1991).
- The disclosure includes glycoproteins (or Fc regions or Fc fragments containing one or more N-glycosylation sites thereof) that are conjugated or fused to one or more heterologous moieties. Heterologous moieties include, but are not limited to, peptides, polypeptides, proteins, fusion proteins, nucleic acid molecules, small molecules, mimetic agents, synthetic drugs, inorganic molecules, and organic molecules. In some instances, a glycoprotein conjugate is a fusion protein that comprises a peptide, polypeptide, protein scaffold, scFv, dsFv, diabody, Tandab, or an antibody mimetic fused to an Fc region, such as a glycosylated Fc region. A fusion protein can include a linker region connecting an Fc region to a heterologous moiety (see, e.g., Hallewell et al. (1989), J. Biol. Chem. 264, 5260-5268; Alfthan et al. (1995), Protein Eng. 8, 725-731; Robinson & Sauer (1996)).

- In some instances, a glycoprotein conjugate includes an Fc region (or an Fc fragment containing one or more N-glycosylations site thereof) conjugated to a heterologous polypeptide of at least 10, at least 20, at least 30, at least 40, at least 50, at least 60, at least 70, at least 80, at least 90 or at least 100 amino acids.
- In some instances, a glycoprotein conjugate includes an Fc region (or an Fc fragment containing one or more N-glycosylation sites thereof) conjugated to one or more marker sequences, such as a peptide to facilitate purification. A particular marker amino acid sequence is a hexa-histidine peptide, such as the tag provided in a pQE vector (QIAGEN, Inc., 9259 Eton Avenue, Chatsworth, Calif., 91311). Other peptide tags useful for purification include, but are not limited to, the hemagglutinin "HA" tag, which corresponds to an epitope derived from the influenza hemagglutinin protein (Wilson et al., 1984, Cell 37:767) and the "Flag" tag.
- In other instances, a glycoprotein conjugate includes an Fc region (or Fc fragment containing one or more N-glycosylation sites thereof) conjugated to a diagnostic or detectable agent. Such fusion proteins can be useful for monitoring or prognosing development or progression of disease or disorder as part of a clinical testing procedure, such as determining efficacy of a particular therapy. Such diagnosis and detection can be accomplished by coupling a glycoprotein to detectable substances including, but not limited to, various enzymes, such as but not limited to horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, beta-galactosidase, or acetylcholinesterase; prosthetic groups, such as, but not limited to, streptavidin/biotin and avidin/biotin; fluorescent materials, such as, but not limited to, umbelliferone, fluorescein, fluorescein isothiocynate, rhodamine, dichlorotriazinylamine fluorescein, dansyl chloride or phycoerythrin; luminescent materials, such as, but not limited to, luminol; bioluminescent materials, such as but not limited to, luciferase, luciferin, and aequorin; radioactive materials, such as but not limited to iodine (131I, 125I, 123I), carbon (14C), sulfur (35S), tritium (3H), indium (115In, 113In, 112In, 111In), technetium (99Tc), thallium (201Ti), gallium (68Ga, 67Ga), palladium (103Pd), molybdenum (99Mo), xenon (133Xe), fluorine (18F), 153Sm, 177Lu, 153Gd, 159Gd, 149Pm, 140La, 169Yb, 175Yb, 166Ho, 90Y, 47Sc, 186Re, 188Re, 142Pr, 105Rh, 97Ru, 68Ge, 57Co, 65Zn, 85Sr, 32P, 51Cr, 54Mn, 75Se, 113Sn, and 117Sn; positron emitting metals using various positron emission tomographies, non-radioactive paramagnetic metal ions, and molecules that are radiolabelled or conjugated to specific radioisotopes.
- Techniques for conjugating therapeutic moieties to antibodies are well known (see, e.g., Arnon et al., "Monoclonal Antibodies For Immunotargeting Of Drugs In Cancer Therapy", in Monoclonal Antibodies And Cancer Therapy, Reisfeld et al.

- A suitable means of administration can be selected based on the age and condition of the patient. A single dose of the pharmaceutical composition containing a modified glycoprotein can be selected from a range of 0.001 to 1000 mg/kg of body weight. On the other hand, a dose can be selected in the range of 0.001 to 100000 mg/body weight, but the present disclosure is not limited to such ranges. The dose and method of administration varies depending on the weight, age, condition, and the like of the patient, and can be suitably selected as needed by those skilled in the art.
- The materials, methods, and examples are illustrative only and not intended to be limiting. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. Although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present disclosure, suitable methods and materials are described herein.
- The disclosure is further illustrated by the following example. The example is provided for illustrative purposes only. It is not to be construed as limiting the scope or content of the disclosure in any way.
- The effect of DMSO on antibody glycoforms of a model antibody produced by CHO cells was analyzed. CHO cells were grown initially in base media (Power CHO2, Catalog # BE15-771, Lonza Inc., Allendale, NJ) containing soy hydrolysate, Lonza Power Feed A and additional supplements. On
Day 3, the cells were fed with Lonza Power Feed A and soy hydrolysate. OnDay 6, the cells were fed with Lonza Power Feed A medium and additional supplements with 2.5% DMSO (final concentration) or without DMSO. Cells were fed 2 g/L glucose when the glucose concentration dropped below 2 g/L. Cells were harvested onDays - Relative quantitation of each glycoform was performed on glycans enzymatically released from the antibody using PNGase F and labeled with the fluorophore 2-aminobenzamide. The relative quantities were based on the fluorescence intensity of the relevant species relative to the total fluorescence intensity in the chromatogram. All glycoforms eluting at the same retention time were considered together.
- The presence or absence of DMSO in the culture medium had minimal impact on titer or maximum VCD. Cells grown in the presence of DMSO had an average maximum VCD of 8.0 x 106 cells/mL and a titer of 1.02 g/L, whereas cells grown in the absence of DMSO had an average maximum VCD of 8.1 x 106 cells/mL and a titer of 0.92 g/L.
- As shown in
Figure 2A , the level of G0F was decreased in antibodies grown in the presence of DMSO (about 7% decrease on day 14). Surprisingly, as shown inFigure 2B , the levels of GIF and G2F were only slightly impacted by the presence of DMSO (by about 1% or less). This indicates that the presence of DMSO did not shift the G0F/G1F/G2F distribution by altering galactosylation levels. Rather, this finding suggests that G0F was diverted to other species. A concomitant increase was seen in 3,3,1,0,0 glycans (structure shown inFigure 6 ; data not shown). As 3,3,1,0,0 is converted to G0F by GnTII, without wishing to be bound by theory, DMSO may be acting, at least in part, by altering the conversion of 3,3,1,0,0 to G0F by GnTII. Further, as shown inFigure 2A , the presence of DMSO had a temporal effect on G0F levels, which declined overdays - The impact of DMSO on high mannose glycans is shown in
Figures 3A and 3B . As shown inFigure 3A , DMSO increased the total level of high mannose glycans compared to no DMSO. Further, DMSO led to increased levels ofhigh mannose 6,high mannose 3, and high mannose 5 glycans (seeFigure 3B ). - DMSO also affected the level of fucosylated glycans, resulting in a decreased level of fucosylated glycans (
Figure 4A ), with an increase in afucosylated glycans (Figure 4B ). Further, DMSO resulted in an increase in sialylated glycans (Figure 5A ), with a specific increase in the level of 3,5,1,1,0 sialylated glycan (Figure 5B ; structure shown inFigure 6 ). - This Example demonstrates that culturing cells in DMSO can be used to produce polypeptides, expressed by the cells, having particular levels of glycans.
